Sunil Chhetri and Jeje Lalpekhlua reach Glasgow for trials

Having got a green signal from the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to give the friendly against Zambia a miss, the match against Hamburg shall also see some scouts from a couple of Portuguese clubs, namely Sporting Lisbon and Benfica, watch on. Chhetri and Jeje shall train with the first team squad starting today and attend the match against Kilmarnock on Sunday. "They will have a look around Ibrox and Murray Park and will hopefully be here for a week," Rangers manager Ally McCoist told reporters. "They have kindly agreed to come over and we will have a look at them." Meanwhile, Chhetri, having learnt from his stint with Sporting Kansas where he didn’t feature for them in the MLS, stated that joining a club and not playing for them is one of the worse things to happen to a football player. “But for me, it is purely football. No matter how or why I come over here, I just want to play. The worst thing is for a player to come to a club and not be able to play," Chhetri said. “It's good that even the gaffer gave an interview saying he just wants to see us as footballers. “I'm sure there is a little bit of marketing there, I'm not going to deny that. For me, and thankfully for the coach, he just wants to see us as footballers.“My main focus is to come over here and show what I can bring to the table as a footballer."
